Potassium metabisulfite?
How long can one store made up as a liquid? Seems like making up a standard
solution so that 1 oz equals a campden tablet would work well. |

I make mine a lot stronger than that - more like 220g/l. The stuff is very reactive with air, so it needs to be stored in a nearly full, tightly sealed bottle to retain its potency. 20 ml of this solution added to 60 gallons of wine bumps the free SO2 by 10 ppm.

Potassium metabisulfite?
I make up a 10% solution - about a liter at a time, and store in brown
chem bottles, tighly closed. Even at that, it appears that the solution loses strength, so I refresh if older than a month or so - and either sump or use the older for sanitizing solution. |
